Jewelry Fit For The Stage—And Elsewhere

August 16, 2010  1:05 pm


DLC Brooklyn is a far cry from your average rock ‘n’ roll-inspired jewelry line—no skulls, safety pins, or punk totems here. But that’s not to say music hasn’t inspired designer Susan Domelsmith’s statement creations. “It’s very intertwined,” Domelsmith says of her line and her band, Open Ocean. Take, for instance, the guitar charms featured in DLC Brooklyn’s current collection: “I would never have thought of that if I wasn’t playing music. It takes things a bit further and helps me understand jewelry that’s good for the stage.” Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Open Ocean is basically a fashion-world super-group. Domelsmith plays keyboards alongside Bodkin designer Eviana Hartman, Teen Vogue accessories editor Sarah Kuhn, and Jill Bradshaw, the former owner of beloved NYC boutique I Heart.

But for non-rockers, DLC Brooklyn—whose pieces are all crafted from vintage and deadstock materials save for their clasps—offers plenty of looks equally befitting the office or after-hours at Le Bain. Domelsmith moved to New York in 2006; she launched her line two years prior, while working at an Austin boutique. Since then the line has grown immensely, with placement in boutiques like the Lower East Side’s Kaight. She’s also signed on to curate a selection of vintage jewelry for the online retailer Market Publique, which debuts September 1. “I’ve collected a lot of pieces I can’t deconstruct or pieces I wouldn’t want to take apart because they’re so beautiful as is,” she explain. “So, I’ve just been holding onto them. I hate to let it go, but it’s nice to think someone else can wear and enjoy it.”
Frequency bracelet, $140, available at www.dlcbrooklyn.com.

  1. I like the idea of beautiful bracelets adorned with several items, different from each other. A creative and personal style, of very good taste.
